Throwing some dimes: Perkins expects early February return
Every once in a while, I link to a few articles from other writers around the internet. You know, I throw some dimes.
Kendrick Perkins's happy face. And sad face. And everything in between face.
- Kendrick Perkins targets early February for his return. “To me, I feel like I need about a month-and-a-half [to be playoff-ready],” he said.
- Paul Pierce was rated #19 in Slam Online’s player rankings. This sentence from the column had me dying laughing: “It’s also entirely possible Chris Bosh still has to fit the hotel room bed with rubber sheets the night before playing against Kevin Garnett.”
- GMs give Boston a 100% chance to win the Atlantic, an 18.5% chance to win the East, and a 3.7% chance to win a championship. They say Ray Allen is the league’s purest shooter and Rajon Rondo the best on-the-ball perimeter defender and best defender in the passing lanes. Actually, the entire Celtics team dominated the defensive rankings. Also, more votes.
- John from Red’s Army strongly believes Shaq should come off the bench. I happen to agree, for this reason: Shaq, against second string defenses, can still get buckets.
- Brian Scalabrine on why Tom Thibodeau wanted him in Chicago: “He knows that he can count on me.”
- Kobe Bryant’s the reason we had a recession.
- If Andrew Bynum has one more major knee surgery, his minutes will likely be limited for the rest of his career.
- Jersey advertising has the potential to save the NBA from a lockout. Seriously. English Premier League soccer teams made $155 million off jersey advertising last season. My thoughts? Why the hell not? The basketball will be the same, even if the Boston Celtics become the Armani Jeans Celtics. On second thought… the Armani Jeans Celtics?
- Adrian Wojnarowski on the passing of the torch in Miami: “Opening night of the preseason, Wade was pushed to the side and everyone saw they could leave him the captain, the spokesman, the last man introduced to the laser light show. They could leave everything in place for Dwyane Wade except for the fact that the Miami Heat no longer belong to him. A force of nature showed on the shores of Biscayne Bay, grabbed the ball and never looked back. Maybe this is still D-Wade’s city and franchise, but this is LeBron James’ team now. King James doesn’t do deferential.”
- I’m pretty sure I could score 10 points per game in the NBA if I had low-post lessons from Hakeem Olajuwon. Hakeem’s forgotten more post moves than most players ever learn. Which makes the thought of him teaching Dwight Howard positively frightening.

Ugh why did I watch that clip… like the Heat weren’t bad enough, now I have to consider the thought of Dwight Howard being the next coming of the Dream… scary, frightening, up all night in a cold sweat thought.

Did you watch the whole thing? Given enough time, The Dream could have turned Eric Montross into a top-notch center.

Ya, I did. Howard looked smooth too… granted there’s no defense. But damn, if Hakeem can teach him to utilize those kind of moves, with the speed, athleticism, and strength that guy has. Ugh, I’m officially afraid.

I know. Me too. He was even hitting that little fadeaway jumper. Alas, there was no defense. But still.
